Top Tips for hiring a van in Durham

  • The closest airport to fly into Durham is Newcastle International Airport (NCL), which is about 25 miles north of Durham city centre and is the primary airport serving the region. When collecting your Durham van hire, you will find the van hire desks in the Arrivals Terminal, right outside the main car rental area. When you arrive at the airport, follow the signs for Car Hire, and you will find the van hire desks of your specific chosen hire company easily.
  • Driving a van in Durham can be an enjoyable experience as you explore the beautiful city and its surroundings, but you should always familiarise yourself with the van before you set out on a drive if you are not used to driving larger vehicles. Plan your route and always use a GPS navigation system. Narrow streets can be an issue when driving in the inner city, so you might want to consider parking the van for the day and taking the city sights by foot or public transport.
  • There are many reasons you should consider Durham van hire when visiting this city, especially if you are travelling in a group and want to explore the surrounding areas in comfort. A van offers more space for your passengers and is very cost-effective for larger groups of people as you don’t need to pay for multiple public transport tickets. If you plan on exploring the outskirts of the city, a van allows you to pack all your travel gear and have extra space in the boot for shopping purchases.
  • Traffic is always an issue in a small town, so plan your route beforehand when using Durham van hire. Peak hour traffic normally starts during rush hours from 7:30 to 9:00 and 16:30 to 18:30 at night. During this time you will experience higher volumes of traffic and this will add time to your trip, so plan ahead to avoid these higher density traffic times. Traffic around city centre hotspots and tourist destinations will also be traffic heavy, so be wise and save the frustration.

FAQs About Hiring a Van in Durham

  • Can I drop off my Durham van hire at a destination other than the location I picked it up from?

    Generally, all van hire companies do allow different drop-off locations and allow a one-way hire. If you are on a road-trip and are flying home from Heathrow Airport, then you can arrange beforehand to drop off your car at Heathrow Airport and not Newcastle International Airport (NCL). Some rental agencies might add an extra fee for this convenience, but you can arrange this beforehand. Usually within the same country, there shouldn't be any major extra charge.

  • What is the most convenient van hire agency to pick up your van in Durham city centre?

    The Enterprise Rent-A-Car branch in Durham is centrally located near the city centre, making it a convenient option for renting a van if you need to access the city's amenities or surrounding areas. This is the most central van hire company, but you can also arrange a hire from Hertz, Avis and Europcar who are situated around the city, depending on where you are staying in Durham.

  • Do I need a special licence to hire a van in Durham?

    Always check the unique rules of your chosen Durham van hire before you book. You generally don’t need a special licence to hire a van if it is not a heavy-duty vehicle. There might be certain minimum age requirements for van hire and insurance might be steeper, as the van is more expensive. Besides this, hiring a van is as easy as hiring a standard compact car and much more convenient for group travel.

  • How does KAYAK find such low van hire prices?

    KAYAK compares van hire prices from all major car hire companies such as Thrifty, Dollar, Enterprise, Hertz, Payless and more to find you the best deal.
